Loophole in California Law Makes Auto Burglary Victims Prove their Door was Locked. This Bill would Change That (ABC 10 – Dec 10th)

The progressive state senator introduced Senate Bill 23, which would close this perceived loophole that puts a burden of proof on car owners to show that their door was locked during the auto burglary.”
